All the countries are together, this is of course a good thing that Le Yi is happy to see, but considering that the decisive factor that contributed to this matter is not because of him, this makes Le Yi feel a little uncomfortable in his heart.

When he went to Yan from Wei, later outsiders thought that he parted ways with Meng Zhong and his gang, only they knew that the reason why Le Yi and Rong Yi went to Yan was to seek some other help for Song, after all, because of the suppression of Xue Gongtian Wen at that time, Meng Zhong could not be reused in Wei at all, and on the side of Qi, it was faintly formed a union of Qi, Zhao, and Yan - it was impossible for Qi to attack its ally Zhao, and it was unlikely to attack Yan that had succumbed to it, so the remaining opponents of Qi, There are only Song and Chu.

Compared with the Wuyue region of Chu State, which attacked the vast but undeveloped Chu State, it was naturally more likely to be coveted by Qi State, which was naturally rich - this is also the reason why Su Qin, a spy sent by Yan State to Qi State, was able to persuade King Qi to attack Song State three times and twice, just because King Qi himself coveted the wealth of Song State.

At that time, when the Wei State was unwilling, Le Yicai separated from Meng Zhong and his gang, took Rong Yi to Yan State to look for opportunities, and made an appointment with Meng Zhong to join forces in the future.

To be honest, the Song State was not Le Yi's homeland, and the reason why he wanted the Song State to solve the threat from the Qi State once and for all was because his Le family was at least from the Song State, and on the other hand, it was because he valued the brotherly friendship with Meng Zhong, Meng Sui, Meng Hu and others.

This point, even if Le Yi later became the Great Sima in Yan State, he never wavered, the only change was just because he was moved by the sincerity of Yan Wangyi, from the original 'for the sake of the Song State and hope to destroy the Qi State', changed to 'for the sake of the Yan and Song countries and hope to destroy the Qi State', that's all.

Seven or eight years, with a flick of a finger, Meng Zhong, who was not reused in Wei State, has now been named the King of Yuncheng by Wei State for his outstanding military exploits, and outsiders admire it, not to mention others, even Qin State is also in awe of Meng Zhong, and does not hesitate to cede more than 200 miles of land at the cost of exchanging Meng Zhong's self-unloading of the river to the east.

Even, because he was worried that the Wei State with Meng Zhong still regarded himself as a potential enemy, the Qin State also deliberately proposed a joint attack on Qi, instigating the Wei State to attack the Qi State, trying to divert Meng Zhong's attention and Wei's attention to the Qi State, which made Le Yi a little confused: I knew this was the case, what should I do in the Yan State?

"Ah Yi."

Seeing that Le Yi's face showed an obvious look of loneliness, Meng Zhong Zhengse persuaded him: "Ah Yi, don't say that, my brothers have finally achieved their old wishes today, and I am the only one with the hard work and credit?" Let's just say that when the Qi State attacked the Song Dynasty, if it weren't for the mercy of your subordinates and the change of drama Xin, I'm afraid that most of the Song Kingdom would have been captured......"

This is by no means Meng Zhong's nonsense, after all, Song Guo does not have any famous generals.

Jing Yu, the general has been defeated repeatedly, the enemy is outnumbered, and the enemy is outnumbered, and the enemy may not be able to win;

Dai is invincible, reckless general, leading troops to fight is brave, but often does not leave a way back, the only tactic he is good at is attacking and attacking;

Dai Yingzhi is rumored to be both civil and military, but in fact, this leader is far inferior to his ability to govern the city, and is actually a civilian official......

Further down, there are almost no generals.

And Ju Xin, that was Pang Xuan's deputy general at the beginning, it is said that both martial arts and military strategy are on par with Le Yi, this person has no feelings for Song Guo, if Ju Xin was the chief general of the Yan Army at that time, in order to gain the trust of Qi State, he would never mind helping Qi State break through most of the territory of Song State, and Ju Xin does have this ability.

But Le Yi was unmoved, and said lightly: "What if Ju Xin and Tian Touch attacked half of the Song Kingdom at that time? At that time, you were in command of the alliance of the Qin, Wei and Song Kingdoms, and the two of them would not be your opponents at all......"

"But you can't deny that you have made Song Guo a lot less sacrificed." Meng Zhong interrupted.

"......" Le Yi was stunned, and the complexion on his face became slightly better-looking.

Indeed, if it were changed to Ju Xin leading the Yan army to help the Qi State attack the Song State, the Song State would be afraid that hundreds of thousands of people or even more people would die - of course, this number does not refer to the army of the Song State, but to the civilians of the Song State, just look at what the Qi army did in the Yan State during the Rebellion of the Year, once the country of a country is breached, the civilians of that country will definitely be seriously harmed.

And Le Yi's release of water at that time made it impossible for Tian Touch to break through Tancheng, and naturally saved countless Song people in disguise.

“…… Let's talk about the mutual emperor of Qin and Qi. ”

Seeing that Le Yi's face had improved, Meng Zhong said again: "If you hadn't told me this amazing news, I would have immediately informed the Song and Wei dynasties, so that the Three Jin Dynasty would seize the opportunity and immediately discuss countermeasures, how could they force the Qi State to break the alliance with the Qin State on its own?" If it weren't for you, maybe Qin and Qi would have acted together, and when one country attacked Wei and Han and the other country attacked Song, the Three Jin Dynasty would still be scattered, panicking in the face of the alliance of Qin and Qi. ”

Le Yi laughed, shook his head and said, "That's Su Qin's strategy, not my ......"

"But Su Qin won't send someone to inform me of the news in advance." Meng Zhong said with a chuckle.

"How dare he ......?"

Le Yi couldn't help muttering in his heart.

Seeing that Le Yi did not deny it, Meng Zhong said with a smile: "Okay, don't be arrogant, today to promote the invasion of all countries, you and I have to contribute, regardless of before and after, regardless of high and low, instead of worrying about these, you and I should discuss how to destroy the Qi country once and for all, for the ......sake of Song Yan and the two countries."

Hearing Meng Zhong mention 'for the sake of Song and Yan', Le Yi was stunned for a moment, and looked up at Meng Zhong's eyes that seemed to be smiling, he knew that in fact, there were some things, and the brother in front of him had already seen it in his eyes.

Therefore, Le Yi did not deny or correct anything, and after acquiescing to Meng Zhong's statement, he said: "I am going to return to Yan Kingdom first, report this matter to King Yan, and ask him to make all preparations for sending troops to attack Qi State." You don't need to worry about King Yan's attitude, King Yan has never changed his mind when it comes to the 'Fall of the Kingdom of Qi'......"

"Of course I do." Meng Zhong smiled and nodded.

Immediately, he seemed to think of something, and said to Le Yi: "By the way, there is something to talk to you in advance, Dongjun of Qi State, I want it." ”

“……”

Le Yi glanced at Meng Zhong in surprise, there was no dissatisfaction on his face, but a little surprised: "It's just Dongjun?" ”

"It's just Dongjun, how?" Meng Zhong asked.

Hearing this, Le Yi frowned deeply.

Don't doubt it, he is not stingy and does not allow Wei to annex the Dongjun of Qi, on the contrary, he feels that Wei 'demands' a little bit of land, and there are too many things left for him Yan State......

You think, this time the five kingdoms of Qin, Wei, Han, Zhao and Yan invaded Qi, and the Qin State was just to bring disaster to the east, and it never thought about the land of the Qi State.

Similarly, there is South Korea, which is purely to occupy a number of coalition forces, sell Wei and Mengzhong to save face - across a Wei country, what does South Korea want the land of Qi to do?

Therefore, the only people who really have ideas about the land of Qi are the three kingdoms of Wei, Zhao, and Yan.

Zhao Guo...... How to say it, don't look at Meng Zhong and Zhao Wang He have an unclear relationship, but Le Yi has no special feelings for Zhao Guo under Zhao Wang He, as a courtier of Yan State, of course Le Yi knows that after the fall of Qi State, the biggest hidden danger of his Yan State is his neighbor Zhao State.

Even from the standpoint of the courtiers of the Yan State, Le Yi would be prepared to deal with the Zhao State in advance, how could he distribute the land of the Qi State to the Zhao State?

To put it bluntly, he originally planned to share the land of Qi with Meng Zhong and at most one Song State.

But he didn't expect Meng Zhong to tell him that Wei only needs one Dongjun, which is a bit troublesome, could it be that the rest of the Qi country land will be swallowed by his Yan country?

This is good, I'm afraid I won't be able to swallow it......

"No more...... Not? ”

Le Yi made a gesture, signaling that Meng Zhong could raise his 'requirements' again.

Of course, Meng Zhong could understand Le Yi's gestures, shook his head and said with a smile: "No, as the so-called people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, I think it is enough to take this opportunity to occupy Dongjun." …… Presumably you can also see that the Qin State took the initiative to propose that all countries jointly attack the Qi State this time, which in itself is a trap against our Wei State, if our Wei State is not greedy enough, it is very likely to fall into the quagmire of the Qi State, and the time will ......."

"The quagmire of the Qi Kingdom?" Le Yi's face showed a little confusion.

Seeing this, Meng Zhong reminded: "Don't forget why the Qi army, which almost destroyed the Yan State after the Zizhi Rebellion, withdrew from the territory of the Yan State. …… The intervention of Master Zhao's father is certainly the reason on the one hand, but on the other hand, isn't it the atrocities of the Qi army in the Yan State that completely intensified the Yan people's hatred of the Qi people? ”

After a pause, he said to Le Yi again: "If the Yan State intends to annex the Qi State, I advise you to care about the hearts of the Qi people, I learn from the words of Meng Shi to persuade the King of Qi back then, if your Yan army finally makes the Qi people hate the Yan people, then I am afraid that the days of your Yan army in Shandong will not last long......

Hearing this, Le Yi showed a little solemnity on his face, and asked, "Do you mean to treat Qi people with leniency?" ”

"Of course!" Meng Zhong said with a smile: "I think you can take the time to go to Fangcheng, Fangcheng, I mean Yeyi, almost seventy percent of the people of Yiyi have migrated and fled from the Chu State, but under the governance of Xiang Yi, you have never seen a dispute between the Wei people and the Chu people in Yeyi, they are all the same as each other, they are all Yeyi people." …… I think you can refer to it, if you can make the Qi people under your rule think that it is not bad to be ruled by the king of Yan in the future, your Yan country will be able to own the land of Shandong for a long time. ”

"It's going to take a long time......" Le Yi said with a frown.

"But it's the least troubled way."

"Hmm......" Le Yi nodded thoughtfully, and then asked Meng Zhongdao: "Then, if there are Qi people who are unwilling to obey my Yan Kingdom?" According to your meaning, you can't kill them all, right? ”

Meng Zhong smiled and said: "The rabbit dies and the fox is sad, and the things hurt it, if you want to govern the Qi people for a long time, you naturally can't cause slaughter in the Qi country, especially those Qi people who are unwilling to obey." …… But you can expel them. ”

"Eviction?"

"Yes, leave one or two Qi cities, secretly drive the unwilling Qi people to these two Qi cities, during which vigorously develop the rest of the conquered cities, create differences, a few years later those who are unwilling to obey the Qi people will find that obeying the rule of the Yan State, you can get better living conditions, at that time, even if some Qi troops are still stubbornly resisting, but the hearts of the civilians of Qi have been broken by you, the art of war, the heart of the attack is the first, the second is to attack the city, as long as you have enough patience, you can finally break the last resistance of the Qi State without blood, Make the Yan State completely annex the Qi State. ”

"Takami!"

Le Yi nodded again and again, stroked his palms and praised, and then said half-jokingly: "I never felt it when I was by your side, but now...... I'm really worried that you and I will have a confrontation in the future......"

"Are you afraid of losing to me?" Meng Zhong joked.

However, Le Yi nodded: "I'm afraid!" ”

Meng Zhong was stunned, so he stopped joking, thought about it and said: "I think, you and I shouldn't be able to meet in a short time, if you Yan Kingdom, the land of Qi Kingdom is believed to have to be digested by your Yan Kingdom for a while, and there should basically be no other thoughts within ten years; And in my Wei State, the main object of prevention is still Qin State...... What's more, Wei and Yan are too far apart, even if there is friction, it will only happen after your Yan State occupies Shandong and my Wei State occupies Dongjun, and I think that even if there is friction, it is unlikely that my Wei State will cross the big river...... After all, it was the Qin State that was more of a threat. ”

This guess is still relatively pertinent, Le Yi nodded convincingly, but he immediately asked, "What about ten years from now?" ”

"I don't know."

Meng Zhong shook his head and said, "When the Qi State falls and the Song State is dependent on the Wei State, there should be no hidden dangers in this generation, and my greatest wish has been fulfilled." Originally, Gongsun Jun would give me the position of Hedong Guard and let me fight Qin State, how can I say that this is also a goal, but Qin State paid a lot of price this time to drive me away from Hedong...... Well, after the fall of the Qi Kingdom, I first want to go and see the two masters, especially Master Zhuang, I was by Master Zhuang's side when I was ten years old, and now that he is getting older, I also want to spend more time with him......"

"What about your fiefdom? Besides, can the Wei side allow it? ”

"Fiefdom? Haha, it's not that you don't know, I never care about this matter, the matter of the feudal province has always been governed by Xiang Yi and Le Xu, as for the Wei State, Ah Sui, Ah Hu, and Hua Hu They can gradually stand alone, and they don't need to come forward every time, right? By the way, I forgot to tell you, Ah Sui has been worshiped by the King of Wei as the Fangcheng Order......"

Le Yi was stunned, unable to tell what mood he was in.

After all, if he hadn't left Wei State and gone to Yan State back then, then today's Fang Cheng Order would definitely be him......

Although it is said that the status of a small Fang Cheng Order is not comparable to that of a country's great Sima, for some reason, Le Yi is still faintly jealous.

After thinking about it, Le Yi touched his chin and said: "Think about it carefully, when I got married, you didn't come, you didn't even give congratulatory gifts, and I asked you to make up for it afterwards, but I haven't seen it so far...... Now that you are all in high power, a Yuncheng Monarch, and a Fangcheng Order, we should also talk about this congratulatory gift......"

"Huh?" Meng Zhong was stunned for a moment.

If you talk well, how can you talk about money? How sad it is......

In short, Meng Zhong chatted with Le Yi for a long time that night.

The next day, Meng Zhong set up a private banquet and called Meng Hu, Hua Hu, and Le Jin to drink with Le Yi.

In view of Le Yi's concealment at the beginning, among several people, Hua Hu had the greatest opinion on Le Yi, but now under the general trend of uniting Qi and Meng Zhong repeatedly mentioned that Le Yi has paid a lot for this, Hua Hu's attitude towards Le Yi has also changed.

Another day, Le Yi led the Yan army to evacuate from Yin and Jin, and took the lead in returning to Yan to start preparing for a joint crusade against Qi.

Before leaving, Marquis Wei Ran asked Le Yi to discuss the matter of attacking Qi in Handan, Zhao State-why it was set in Handan, Zhao State, to put it bluntly, Wei Ran was ready to work with Wei and Han to put pressure on Zhao State and force Zhao State to join the ranks of the crusade against Qi State, after all, Zhao State is still an ally of Qi State on the surface.

During this period, Fengyang Jun Li Dui also led the Zhao army to evacuate from Yin and Jin and return to Zhao.

By the way, Li Dui did not positively express his support for the Qi dynasty, and only shirked the need to go through Zhao Wanghe's promise, but from his practice of entrusting his second grandson Li Ke to Wei Ran, Meng Zhong thought that Li Dui must have also seen the end of his imminent loss of power to Zhao.

When sending Li Dui and Zhao Jun away, Hua Hu asked Meng Zhong in private: "You say, will King Zhao give him death?" ”

Hearing this, Meng Hu opened his eyes wide and said, "Probably not, right?" No matter what Li Dui said this time, he could be regarded as leading the coalition army to win the battle, how could Zhao He give him death? ”

Hua Hu rolled his eyes: "Of course it's not now!" …… I'm asking after a few months, or a year and a half...... After all, on the bright side, Zhao Cheng and Li Dui are the ones who poisoned Zhao's father, and Zhao He may kill Li Dui in order to hide the truth......"

"Not really."

Meng Zhong shook his head and said: "First of all, Zhao He is not that kind of person, I asked him when I went to Zhao two years ago, and he did not regret forcing Lord Zhao's father to avenge Fei Xiang, maybe in his eyes, Fei Xiang is more like his father...... Therefore, he doesn't care about those rumors, kill Li Dui and extinguish his mouth, it won't happen, but Li Dui's phase, I'm afraid it won't last long, if Li Dui knows each other, at this time, he should pave the way for his son Li Ji, ask for a knighthood or something, and hand over the phase after a while, in this way, Zhao He will not deal with him again......"

On the side, Meng Hu sneered inappropriately: "Xiao Zhao He, is you finally going to completely take back power?" It's just that there are still people available around him now? ”

Hua Hu glanced at Meng Zhong, stepped on the instep of Meng Hu's foot, and said lightly: "We weren't from Zhao He's side back then, so it's your turn to mock others?" ”

Glancing at Meng Hu who was holding his feet and screaming, Meng Zhong chuckled and said, "Don't underestimate Zhao Guo, isn't there still Lian Po in Zhao Guo?" Although Li Dui has lost power, how could Zhao He abandon such a fierce general? On the contrary, the opportunity for Lian Po has come! Zhao He will definitely reuse Lian Po......"

On the side, Le Jin laughed and teased: "What kind of reuse? Is it possible to appoint Lian Po as Jinyang Shou? ”

“…… Who knows. ”

Meng Zhong responded indifferently to his brother's ridicule.

On August 18, the Qin generals Sima Cuo, Bai Qi, Xiang Shou, and Huayang Jun Mi Rong and others each led a Qin army to Yin and Jin.

According to the agreement, Meng Zhong and Storm Kite led the Wei and Han coalition forces to evacuate from Yin and Jin and return Yin Jin to Qin.

"See each other again...... Meng Zhong. ”

At the time of the handover of Yin and Jin, Bai Qi came to Meng Zhong's side again.

And in this regard, Menghu, Huahu, and Lejin are not surprised - Bai Qi, old acquaintances.

The only thing they felt strange about was the smile on their faces......

Hey, didn't you lose the battle? Why are you still so ......? Glad?

Yes, Bai Qi, who appeared in front of Meng Zhong, Meng Hu, Hua Hu and others at this time, had joy and excitement on his face that could not be concealed.

How did they know that at this moment, Bai Qi didn't know how many years he had been waiting.
